Did You Know ....

... The air traffic control tower at Halifax Stanfield International Airport was referred to as the “jewel” of Canada’s air traffic control system by NAV Canada when it opened in the summer of 1997. It was the first project of its kind for WHW, and despite that, the design pushed the envelope of control tower design in Canada. The Project won a Lieutenant Governors Design Award in 1997. Pilots arriving at the Halifax Airport still refer to it as the “Stanley Cup”…a reference to its distinctive form.
